Missing Georgia hiker--Meredith Emerson, 24 #2

[SeekingJana]

I was listening to Q100, a local radio station this morning and they were talking about Meredith since she was an active listener of their morning show. According to her friends she was described as outspoken and feisty.....

Aww, how sad. I pictured her as being able to defend herself and strong, emotionally and physically. It's hard to believe that old creep was able to kill her. What a horrible waste of a promising young life. Rest in the arms of Jesus, sweet Meredith.

I think Barbara is either a defender of Hilton to a fault, or just wanted to keep Hilton on her good side since she had to deal with him on a daily basis. We all know what happens if you are on Hilton's bad side.

I don't see him as being very bright mentally, so she was probably able to stay on his good side by doing little things for him and that dog, and by staying out of his way when he was in a rage about one thing or the other. JMO.

Yes, it is said that Jenna was near where homeless people slept, or that the knife was found there, one or the other, not sure which. Both areas were in close proximity, though.

I have NO clue as to whether Jenna was found in the same part of NC as the Bryants, or whether there is some reason that Hilton can't be considered a suspect in her murder... Maybe the posters who live in NC can offer a more educated response about location and routes. I don't put any opportunistic murder past this creep.

JUSTICE FOR JENNA !!!

It's about 250 miles west of the Bryant location. But on a main travel route along the eastern U.S to Pa. If the Pa. sightings are correct then it's not out of the realm of possibility.

 

[SuziQ]

Location A is the Bryant location and B is Jenna's location, C is Philidelphia.

Does anyone remember if the dates of the Pa. sightings were mentioned?

We need more photos of Dandy; if a witness is used to seeing transients, they may remember Dandy more and be able to connect to Hilton in their memory. Also if parents and their children were driving or spotted Hilton at a rest area, the children may have pointed out the "doggy" to them, anything that could jog people's memories of where he has been..

I don't think Hilton can "get it up". I'm not sure how to put that so i said it like it is. I think he has a sexual malfunction of some sort.

I hope people start looking at her case with a new viewpoint. Please, if any of you aren't familiar with Jennifer ( Jenna) Nielson's murder, please read about it. I think Hilton could have been in a metro NC area at the time, and this was another crime of opportunity. Preying on someone who seemed weak and who MIGHT have had a lot of money on her because of the newstands being emptied.

What we know is that she was not killed easily. She was manually strangled, which did not kill her, she was hit on the head and had an internal head bleed, which did not kill her, and finally she sustained a knife wound to her left neck, which was 1 inch wide and three inches deep, from behind, and from left to right, indicating a right handed killer.

I don't think we should add her to the list, but the info is interesting. Jenna was murdered on June 14th, 2007.

ETA: I meant not add her to the list yet. But she should be considered. Sorry if that came out wrong!

"I ran into Hilton last Aug or Sept(???) 2007 at a park in East Bradford Twp, PA (near West Chester). He was parked at a trail-head and appeared to have spent the night in his white Astro van. He had many blankets or sleeping bags hung over a fence - as if he was airing them out. I remember wondering why the local police did not notice him, especially since his Georgia license plate was out of place and his appearance was wierd. I wondered how he traveled so far when he appeared as though he was homeless. I thought he was perhaps a Vietnam vet and perhaps received disability payments. He did not appear to be someone who could hold a job.
I am very sorry I did not call the police at the time I saw him. I do not know whether the authorities had any idea Hilton had traveled as far as Pennsyvania. I wish I had said something."

Is there any way to track down this witness to make sure it is legit? It sounds like it, yet just to make sure. Some people will say anything just to say it. If LE could interview this witness, then i'm sure they would know and i'd be curious to see what their take on it would be.

Also, when anyone reads Jenna's case, keep in mind that the composite sketch looks like Jenna. I think the sketch is a witness error, IMO.

Wow, thanks Meow. BTW, I hope someone adopts Dandy as well. Poor dog.

Suzi, i think so too, it says its a male yet looks like a female.. the witness probably described Jenna and didn't realize or something...

Absolutely, I agree with you, Susie!! It's Jenna.
Oh please pray that her case will be solved soon.
The photos and videos of Jenna remind me of Meredith in that they were both pretty, spunky, friendly young women. OMG, why?:banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Autopsy nearly complete says GBI. Will release info later this afternoon.

I changed to map to reflect West Chester, Pa. per the above post. Of course the sighting will be blown if Hilton can be placed in Georgia during that time frame. According to his friend Barbara he didn't leave for the woods until two months or so ago.

Did they ever figure out how Patrice Endres died?

I don't believe it was ever said but her body was not in tact. They identified her from her dentals.

 

[schultzan31]

Why have they never released a cause of death in the Dunlap case?

 

[SuziQ]

Why have they never released a cause of death in the Dunlap case? That is sort of odd.

Same reason as the Endres case. Too much decomp and not intact. In fact LE said the killer took steps to conceal Dunlaps identity. BTW, LE early on said no way no connection to Dunlap, but there had been other recent body part discoveries in the area.

Ah ok. I got the impression that they would have been able to determine cause of death since she was found a few weeks later.

Looking at the ATM pictures in that case, the body type seems to be similiar to that of the Bryant case. However, look at the shirt.. it is a nice, collared shirt that a man might wear to work. I don't really see Gary Hilton wearing something like that. Also, I wonder if they found the yellow jacket that Hilton was wearing?

I had the same thought about the shirt.
